Just for all the Darwin Award wannabees... I have not nor will I ever actually sniff these products, but you can certainly smell it when you are carefully, and in a well ventilated area, pouring the product from one large container to a small container. As for not getting it on my hands, I had never really worried about it, and must say that it is almost impossible to not get it on your hands, using the bottles sold with LC/FP, unless you are using gloves. I'll be using them in the future...
